[423] “ὡς περισσὸς ὁ στίχος ἀθετεῖται. ἐπεί σφι: οὐχ Ὁμηρικῶς κεῖται ἡ ἀντωνυμία: διὸ καὶ προηθετεῖτο”, Schol. T. It is clear that Ar. and probably Aph.obelized the line, but the last reason cannot be right, as there is nothing un-Homeric in “σφι”. Objection may be taken to the trochaic caesura, though it falls within the permitted limits (see on 21.575); but it is highly improbable, judging from his silence elsewhere, that Ar. noticed this.
